Hell On Heels…wait, it’s a Barefoot Blue Jean Night because Today Is Your Day

Wait, it’s Monday already?! Where’s the time gone? I’ve almost gotten back to ‘normal’ after our vacation, though I have yet to unpack Princess Nagger’s and my suitcases. Ahem. I’ll get to it. Eventually. Since my brain is in scattered mode, I’ll save those scatterbrained thoughts for tomorrow. Today, we’ll jump right into fun music mode instead. It’s a freebie week, so let’s get right to it, shall we?

First up is a song that’s ultra catchy, though I’m not condoning the message this song sends, but the catchy-ness of it makes up for it, especially since I love Miranda Lambert, and it’s a newish song from her newish girl band, Pistol Annie’s Hell On Heels:

Full moon shinin’ bright
Edge of the water we were feelin’ alright
Back down a country road
The girls are always hot & the beer is ice cold
Cadillac horns on the hood
My buddy Ricky had his dad hook ’em up good
Girls smiled when we rode by
They’d hop in the back & we’d cruise to the riverside

Chorus:
(Woah) Never gonna grow up
(Woah) Never gonna slow down
(Woah) We were shinin’ like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
(Woah) We were doin’ it right
(Woah) We were comin’ alive
(Woah) We were caught up in a southern summer
Barefoot blue jean night

Blue eyes & auburn hair
Sittn’ lookin’ pretty by the fire in a lawn chair
New to town, new to me
Her ruby red lips were sippin’ on sweet tea
Shot me a look like a shootin’ star
So I grabbed a beer & my ole guitar
Then we sat around til the break of dawn
Howlin’ & singin’ to our favorite songs

(Woah) Never gonna grow up
(Woah) Never gonna slow down
(Woah) We were shinin’ like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
(Woah) We were doin’ it right
(Woah) We were comin’ alive
Yeah caught up in a southern summer
Barefoot blue jean night

Wuh-oh ever gonna grow up
Never gonna slow down
We were shinin’ like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
(Woah) We were doin’ it right
(Woah) We were comin’ alive
(Woah) Yeah caught up in a southern summer
Barefoot blue jean night
Barefoot blue jean night
A barefoot blue jean night
A barefoot blue jean night
Barefoot blue jean night

You got what it takes you can win,
Today is your day to begin.
Don’t give up here, don’t you quit.
The moment is now, this is it
Know that you can then you will
Get to the top of the hill
Part of the fun is the climb
You just gotta make up your mind

That today is your day
And nothing can stand in your way
Today is your day
Everything’s goin’ your way
Today (you can do it)
Today (c’mon c’mon)
Today (c’mon do it)
Today

When somebody throws sticks and stones
All they can break are your bones
And life’s gonna kick you around
Then kick you again when you’re down

But today is your day
And nothing can stand in your way
Today is your day

Everything’s goin’ your way
Today (c’mon do it now)
Today
Today
Today

mmmm life’s gonna kick you, its gonna kick you around, its gonna kick you down

Brush yourself off no regrets
This is as good as it gets
Don’t expect more or less
Just go out and give it your best (give it your best)

Today is your day
And nothing can stand in your way
Today is your day
Everything’s goin’ your way

Today
Today ( I said today is your day)
Today
Today
I said today
Today
Today is your day mmmmm

About Stacy (the Random Cool Chick)

After 20+ years in the Corporate World and years of infertility, Princess Nagger made her miraculous appearance and I chose to become a SAHM and WAHM - I love every minute of it. We added Little Dude through adoption, adding a whole new dimension to our family.
We have an eclectic mix of pets: dogs, cats, birds and fish. I love to cook and try new techniques to turn ordinary into extraordinary.
Crafty by nature, I take on a lot of unique projects and enjoy seeing the end result. My favorite, of course, is making my own wine out of fruits and grapes. Experiments with water currently underway.
I blog about the joys of parenting, family, friends, life, love and anything else that strikes my fancy. I do enjoy doing reviews and giveaways for products I use, believe in and can stand behind.

Spring is definitely on the way, people! We’ve had beautiful sunny and warm weather in the Pacific Northwest the past few days, with more coming. In fact, today we’ll be seeing the temps hit 70-degrees, which is about 15-degrees higher … Continue reading →

Hello, Monday! Looks like the winter weather is finally on its way out – while chilly, we’ve had sunshine for a few consecutive days, so maybe we’re finally moving towards spring! Being that it’s Monday, Monday means music! For the … Continue reading →

I really like Shania Twain! Thanks for sharing and for hosting the fun! I’m breaking the ole Monday blahs with a little Monday meme pick-me ups! I hope you had an excellent weekend. Have a marvelous week!
Check out my recent post….Music Move Me for Free
~Cathy Kennedy, Children’s AuthorThe Tale of Ole Green Eyes

This is the one problem with being so connected to my iPod- I don’t hear the new music. That Jake Owen IS a cutie! I might have to find some more of his videos. ;-0) I also like that Shania Twain video. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great music! I love the song “Hell on Wheels” I too am a huge fan of Miranda and also Blake! Have a great Monday ….. stay cool …… it is over 100 degrees here in Wisconsin! too hot or us! Thanks for visiting my site!

I love that you always share country songs because your Music Monday posts are the only time I listen to country music. You’re broadening my musical taste so thank you for that and for the MM shout out. 🙂

Yeah, and I saw her too! Bet you thought I wouldn’t see our girl in that first video didn’t ya? lol Carrie Underwood looking sharp as ever. Dam that girl is beautiful. Love the picks & what’s not to love about Shania Twain. You SO ROCK GIRLFRIEND! WOO HOO!

fun picks! By the way, glad you liked the bubble boy post – you really should get that experiment book. It is full of all sorts of crazy things. My husband & son usually pull it out when I am off running errands since they like to make a mess & then chaos ensues

Hi, just came here from Meet Me Monday. Love the new Miranda Lambert song!! BTW, I have a giveaway on my blog for a $50 Beauticontrol Instant Manicure Set. Feel free to enter, there are very good odds because only a couple of people have entered so far.

This whole song – including the video brought back a lot of old memories: the summer I met my sweetie (hubby); he was a shooting star among the bikinied twinkies in those hot, hot, H-O-T white cutoffs, coffee bean tanned skin, mesmerizing hazel gold-flecked hazel eyes, doing those death-defying water skiing stunts behind water skimming jet boats. Oh! I loved watching everything he did … could that really have been 37 years ago???? It seems like only yesterday; LOL

Of course our “blue jeans nights” took place here in the cool and often overcast PNW. But when the sun does come out and play it’s a fun place to be.

cute pics!
HI! I found you on A Helicopter Mom’s Alexa Hop.
Commenting to help you lower your alexa! Please comment back and help me lower mine too!

Anyway, besides all of that, just please comment back to help me lower mine. I have noticed a lot of people don’t comment back… LOL! Thanks!
Have a great day and just say no to Captcha! Btw thats not me being “snarky”) I am just being totally honest. Things apparently get taken out of context when tone of voice is not a part of a conversation (Like comments!) . I am sorry if this is not relevant to your blog post, just didn’t know where else to write it. Thanks to Learning to Limit for being rude about it though… I am totally not trying to be rude at all. Just 100% honest. I always am. (Ms Learning to Limit told me my comment was “snarky, rude & irrelevant” (I wrote the same comment on her blog.) Im sorry, but when commenting on 80 blogs, with 4 reviews due, i just simply don’t have time to read and comment on everyone’s blogs relevantly. I have 2 kids to raise! I hope you understand, please do not do like her and be rude…

awesome to see my two of my favorite artists on here! absolutely love Pistol Annies AND Jake Owen, and i can’t wait for his new album to be released on the 29th… just preordered it, you should too! http://myplay.me/7xq

No stealing!

Whatcha looking for?

Stacy Swenson Johnson

After 20+ years in the Corporate World and years of
infertility, Stacy was surprised when Princess Nagger made her miraculous appearance
- deciding to
forgo the career and stay home was a no-brainer. As if her hands weren’t full
enough, 8 years later she and her husband added Little Dude through adoption,
adding a whole new dimension to their family and even more sleepless nights.

When she’s not refereeing kids, dogs and cats, she loves to write, hence the
reason she decided to start her little blog, and because she never got a baby
book to mark milestones, so this was the next best thing. She also enjoys doing reviews and giveaways for
products she or her family would willingly use and can stand behind.

She loves to cook and try new techniques to turn ordinary into extraordinary.
Crafty by nature, she takes on a lot of unique projects and enjoy seeing the end
result. Her favorite, of course, is making her award winning wine out of fruits
and grapes. Experiments with water currently underway.
